About Gingerbread Homes

Gingerbread Homes is a small, local business in Cleveland, Ohio. We sell un-decorated and decorated gingerbread homes, participate in gingerbread decorating competitions, and provide activities for local holiday events.

We'd love to help you create a new holiday tradition or give you one less thing to bake during such a busy time. Our gingerbread homes can come decorated for a wonderful holiday centerpiece or as a blank slate to help express creativity. Decorating gingerbread is a great hands-on activity that's enjoyable for all ages.

The Gingerbread Man

For decades, Jon Thibo has been making gingerbread creations. It started in his mother's kitchen as a holiday family tradition. Jon continued the tradition with his own family and eventually began selling his gingerbread homes in hope that the pastime finds its way into your family festivities. This endeavor was also pursued to help raise money for a scholarship given in Jon's sister's name. Susan was a French teacher and passed away from cancer in 2007. Jon and his sibling's wish was to commemorate her by acknowledging a promising high school senior who will pursue a degree in linguistics or foreign language.

Jon is a lifetime resident of the Cleveland area and is a proud supporter of local businesses, charities, and events. He and his wife Ellen currently reside in Fairview Park.
